I am quite sure you've all seen the pictures of Rosie O'Donnell's baby by now. Technically, since she posited it as "Art" and obviously wants it shown, I could reproduce it here, but I've decided not to because I don't see it as being relevant. Besides, it's already been all over the news.
Rosie dressed up one of her adopted children - a beautiful, angelic, little blonde - in a turban and some of those Muslim sheets or whatever they are, with a string of bullets draped across her shoulder. As far as Art goes, it is certainly well-made. The lighting is excellent, the pose and expression communicate a childlike innocence, and so forth, but... what's the point?
O'Donnell said that it was an anti-war statement about how a young, Iraqi girl dies everyday over there, but, um, Rosie? Iraqi extremists do dress their children up with gunbelts slung across their shoulders and teach them to hate and want to kill Americans. I mean, if your fat ass were over there, and you saw some small person with a gunbelt, dressed like that, you'd probably kill it, too. Whether you think it's a child or a midget or a misguided, mentally unstable idiot's idea of "Art," you'd probably shoot it or run away. Maybe you haven't seen the tapes of what happens to the people who try to "reason" with them?
Had the little girl been dressed in an American uniform, that message would have been very clear: we're turning our kids into killers. Had the child been covered in fake blood, sans the bullets, that would have been a clear message.
I think Rosie O'Donnell is just a real moron. Seriously just this side of needing a helmet, a wheelchair, and a rubber spoon and goggles when she eats.
I'm even more perplexed by this since her fellow adopter activist, Angelina Jolie, just appeared in a film depicting what the people Rosie is defending are capable of.
By the way, all of the children in Jolie's new film are portrayed by her adopted children. All of them. Look closely and you can see them: there's Lemon, Lime, that's Pomegranate, Mango-Raspberry Punch, Banana-Strawberry Swirl, and Original Flavor.
Personally, I would have liked it if they'd gotten a little creative with the names and called one Peach (Pitt - get it?).
A rambling melange of pop-culture.

Rosie said the costume her daughter was wearing in the picture was, in fact, American-issue. I stand corrected.
In my defense though, did anyone else get that? Even if it is, it doesn't look like it, so the message was still far from communicated.
I think Rosie tries very hard to be misunderstood.
